GAPS Quesadilla

     When you have been on GAPS for a few weeks it all starts to sink in.  You can only make so many things with the limited diet.  A huge part of figuring this diet out is how to get by with out grains.  No more sandwiches, tortillas, pastas....all those foods that make the foundation of a lot of meals.  It has taken me awhile, but I do not even think of the missing staple when I plan meals any more.  Well, that is until my daughter wants to make quesadillas.

     It took some research, and there were a lot of options, but I decided to try this simple recipe out. 

 Basically it is an omelet.
I took two eggs and some butter.  I buttered my small ceramic coated pan and whipped up two eggs.  I poured the eggs in to the pan, let it cook, and flipped it.  They were not difficult to make.  The challenge came in implementing them in the recipe that my daughter wanted to make- Tuna and Bell Pepper Quesadillas.

     We used canned tuna, cheddar cheese, green and red bell pepper, and green onions in the filling.  I took one egg tortilla and laid it in the pan, then added the toppings and topped it with another egg tortilla.


     Over all I was pleased with how the meal turned out.  It was very tasty, but it did not taste like a tortilla (just so you are prepared).  It did have an almost omelet texture, but it was really good.  I am not entirely sure that I would not just opt to make a tuna omelet next time.  It sure would save time.  But if you are in need of a wrap for a recipe, this would work really well.  It did stay together and hold all the filling quite well.  It was a nice change to the normal food we eat.
